To write or not to write?
Very interesting.. I was reading Jessicaninprogress, who subsequently linked to this post about leaving up what you post.
Over the past few weeks my role has changed significantly, and within the role i’m now managing staff. Whilst i’ve also directly protected the privacy of my staff/colleagues and co-workers, i’m sure that most people would be able to associate ‘random-person-y’ with an IRL individual.
My writing style sways back and forward between completely honesty and total silence, but this only dependent on moods, not so dependent on ‘who’s-going-to-see’ … Concurrent to this I do (and almost hypocritically) maintain a cautious-side to sharing too much about my colleagues.
Now more than ever I have to be incredibly careful what I write. ‘A bad day’ could translate to anything from ‘I fired someone’ (I haven’t! .. ever) to ‘Some manager/colleague was a complete spanner’, but who’s to know who’s reading.
I know how many hits my company pushes to this page, and i’m fairly sure the number is consistent with staff I know who are reading, though one really can’t be too careful in these matters, especially if one wishes to continuing employment with said company.

This week has been long, semi-productive and eye-opening all at the same time. I’ve missed out on some sleep and accpeted a few facts of life. Spent some time directing my new team towards new goals, new aspirations and new expectations. I have to admit I like it. I like thinking like a manager, I like assessing rather than obsessing.
I think I might be growing up …..

For the weekend, i’m excited about the fact that i’m picking up my new suit (damn, I am growing up!) and spending time with the girl of my dreams.
And I got an invite to her soccer game next week. It’s a big step for us. (don’t ask)
That’s all i’ve got to say right now. Be safe, have fun, and don’t forget that Matt’s birthday is only a week away.
